Muller is honest enough to admit it is not the tie the Bundesliga champions wanted, but his respectful words for the Blues ahead of the quarter-final first leg are tempered by a warning.

"If we played 10 games against each other, the odds would probably be very even - and, at Bayern, those odds are not to our liking.
